THE FUEL PODCAST – NICK LOOBY & DAVID BELL – THE BUSINESS BREAKFAST SHOW: BROADCASTING FOR NEW BUSINESS

What do you do when your world gets turned upside down by a pandemic? You hustle and redeploy your skills as TedX speaker, business mentor, author and tech wizard into a broadcasting company and a brand new format business video show called the Business Breakfast.

The show is a slightly irreverent, chatty and informative look at business and entrepreneurs and proves the theory that there’s no better form of defence than attack.

Nick Looby and David Bell are two seasoned speakers and business mentors who have spotted a gap in the market for a video show, much like the beloved breakfast TV shows we all loved – like a cross between The Big Breakfast, Tizwas and GMB.

If you haven’t already tuned into the show, do it because we bet you’ve got nothing better to do at 8am every Thursday.

Nick brings all his skills as a people person, author of The Modern Zombie – a lament on the loss of humanity to binary code, while David Bell uses his years of entrepreneurship and business leadership to deliver a great sixty minutes of easily digestible, commercially relevant current affairs and insight from businesses around the country. And they’re just about to announce a new launch.

In this show, we discuss:

 Missing human interactions

 The distraction of technology

 Hybrid events

 Ideal guests for the show

 Long term strategy for the Business Breakfast Show

 Why we need to read

 David’s lunar conspiracies

 An extraordinary book recommendation from Nick

THE FUEL PODCAST – TIM LINDSAY – D&AD: CREATIVE GREATNESS & NEW BLOOD

Tim Lindsay is the Chairman of the D&AD – the advertising and design organisation created in 1962 to promote excellence in the industry. D&AD’s Pencils are the most highly sought-after awards for creative brilliance. They give any creative – young or old – lifelong bragging rights round the workstation.

In the last couple of years, the D&AD has been fighting a battle on two fronts: it has had to scramble and adapt to a world without meetings and events and it has been leading the charge for equality, social and environmental responsibility in the industry, which has attracted ire and praise in equal amounts.

So what does Tim think about it?

In this wide-ranging interview, he outlines the future strategy of the D&AD, recounts stories of advertising legends he’s worked for and with, provides advice for the creative industry on pitching for work and solutions for how the industry can defend itself from accusations of elitism. Along the way, he reveals his own all-time top 3 advertising campaigns and his hopes for the advertising industry’s role in the new economy.

In this interview, we discuss:

 The D&AD’s new responsibilities for creative standards

How to increase diversity in the creative and advertising industry

Are influencers creative?

How can the creative business claw back its prestige?

Whether agencies should or should not pitch with creative work

Agency compensation and burn-out

Surveillance marketing or intent marketing?

And an amazing couple of coincidences with our What3Words game, so stick with it to the end!

Also – the ever-hilarious Jeremy Davies on who drives the creative car – the agency or the client?
